GAS KIT Installation Guide
These fitting instructions are supplementary to those supplied with the components,
and are intended
as a guide for a typical installation. They may vary for different vehicles.
Your vehicle will run on LPG as well as it runs on petrol once the engine is warm,
therefore, if you
have a problem with petrol, you will have the same problem using LPG. You are
advised to correct
any current problems with your engine prior to carrying out the conversion.
At almost every stage of the conversion, you will still be able to drive your car, without
having to wait to complete the conversion, allowing you the freedom of fitting it at your
leisure.

possible. Although the tank straps provided ensure that it is held tight, these
should be used in conjunction with further fixings to prevent the tank from rolling.
For example, use a length of angle either side of the tank.
(1a.1) Position the tank, bearing in mind where you intend to fit the filler entry.
Meanwhile you
must ensure that the tank is oriented at the correct angle. You can do this by using an
angle gauge. The angle must suit to the particular multivalve/tank combination (eg.
Ø360/30º or Ø315/30º etc…)
(1a.2) Fix the tank mounting frame onto the boot floor by using the supplied bolts and
washers.
(1a.3) Position one of the metal straps provided towards one end of the
cylinder.
(1a.4) Bend the strap around the contour of the tank, passing it through the
holes on the
mounting frame.
(1a.5) Connect the two ends of the strap by using the 70mm long bolts and

(1b) FIT THE GAS TANK INTO POSITION (TOROIDAL TANKS)
Installation of a toroidal tank is a relatively easier process than installing a
cylindrical tank,
because you don’t use any tank mounting frame or tank straps for this process. The
most
common way to install a toroidal tank is to use the spare wheel well in the boot.
However if
the tank is 0º (external), you will have to choose a different place than the spare wheel
(1b.1) Take out the spare wheel and the other devices like car lifter of its well.
(1b.2) Drill the necessary holes onto the bottom of the well. While doing this,
take care not to
damage any existing components like the petrol tank etc…
(1b.3) Insert the gas tank into this well.
(1b.4) Secure the tank by using the supplied bolts and washers. (It is a common
method using
polyurethane foam to secure the tank better.)
ensuring the Ø78mm O-ring sits between the Air-box and the tank boss. The direction
of
the two hose inlets should be rotated towards the filler entry position. (Please note that
the
Air-box is used only with the cylindrical tanks.)
(2.4) Position the Multivalve onto the round boss, with the two arms inside the tank.
(2.5) Secure the Multivalve with the six Allen screws supplied, to a maximum 3N/m
torque.
(2.6) It is strongly recommended that you complete the conversion, before carrying
out (2.5).
Hold the Multivalve in position, as it would be in the tank and move the float arm. If
the
gauge on the switch does not show the same reading as that on the Multivalve, gently
bend the float arm as required. Once satisfied, complete (2.5)
not possible, use a suitable heat-shield. Also, avoid suspension or Jacking points.
Ensure that no part of the pipe is permanently hidden from view, preventing
inspection.
(7.1) Select the position required to pass the fuel pipe through the boot floor.
(7.2) Noting any obstructions, drill a Ø30mm hole through the boot floor.
Depending on the
strength of the boot floor, it may be easier to mark a Ø30mm hole, chain drill & file to
suit.
o Locate the pipe protector into the hole with the flat end inside the boot,
and
o the open end of the chamfer protruding beneath the vehicle, angled in the
direction
o of the fuel pipe to
Gas Solenoid.
(7.4) Drill the three fixing holes, and secure into position with the self tapping
screws.
(7.5) Cut a length of the plastic flexible sheathing, long enough to cover the entire
length from
the pipe protector to the entry on the Multivalve housing.
(7.6) From beneath the vehicle, pass one end of the Ø6mm plastic coated
copper pipe, up
through the pipe protector, inside the flexible sheathing, and through the
inlet of the
Multivalve housing. Carry out section (8.2) at the same time.
(7.7) Trim the plastic coating back 25mm.
(7.8) Connect the Ø6mm pipe into the Multivalve, position B in figure 4a, ensuring
that it
completely passes through the olive, bottoming out within the valve.
(7.9) Secure the flexible sheathing, with jubilee clips
(7.10) Working under the vehicle, run the Ø6mm pipe along the underside of the floor
and up
through into the engine bay to the Gas Solenoid.
(7.11) When positioning the pipe, choose the most suitable position that will be best
protected
from road debris, and where it will not be damaged if the car was to bottom out, over a
that
you carry out section (8.3) at the same time. Bracket must be less than 600mm apart.
(7.13) Cut the pipe to length.
(7.14) Trim the plastic coating back 25mm.
(7.15) Connect the pipe into the bottom valve of the Gas Solenoid, ensuring that it
completely
passes through the olive, bottoming out within the valve.
(8) CONNECT WIRING LOOM FROM MULTIVALVE & RUN PARALLEL TO
FUEL LINE
(8.1) Connect the Wiring loom onto the Multivalve, position D, shown in figure 4a.
(8.2) Run the cable through the inlet of the Multivalve housing, through the flexible
sheathing, and through the pipe protector, out to beneath the car. This can be done at
the same time as section (7.6).
(8.3) Run the wiring underneath the vehicle along the fuel line, securing within the
fixing
brackets. Care must be taken not to clamp onto the wires, instead position them in the
fold of the brackets. This can be done at the same time as section (7.12)
(8.4) The wiring is to be connected to the Switch, see section 14.
vehicle’s heater.
(10.1) Cut the vehicle’s water hose in two places, insert the plastic Tee pieces,
and secure
with Jubilee Clips.
(10. 2) To the first Tee piece, the one furthest from the heater, fit the rubber hose
supplied,
connecting it to the Vaporiser (Upper Position D, figure 7, FEMA Vaporiser Manual)
securing with a Jubilee clip.
(10.3) Repeat (10.2) with the other hose, to the lower hose connection on the
Vaporiser.
• FIT MIXER INTO AIR MANIFOLD
Mixers vary according to brand, model and type of the vehicle, for this reason
there are
hundreds of types of mixers. The one you will choose for installation must be a suitable
one according to the specifications of your vehicle. Choosing the correct mixer and
positioning it correctly is one of the most important points in an installation, because
mixers provide a homogenous mixing of air and gas. If you make a mistake, the
vehicle
may not be driveable or may function inefficiently. In case you are not sure about the
type
of your mixer, you should apply to an experienced mechanic.
The mixer, that fits into the air manifold, either has one or two gas inlet
connectors. If
there is one inlet, a T- Piece connector is used. With two inlets, a Y-Piece connector is
used. The following instructions are for use with mixers with two inlets, but the same
procedure applies for mixers with a single inlet.
(12.1) Cut the Ø13mm wire braided hose in half.
(12.1) Fit each of the two resulting hoses onto the two smaller connections of the
Mixer, and
using jubilee clips, secure in place.
(12.2) Fit the other two ends into the Y-Piece, securing with jubilee clips.
(12.3) Fit the Ø19mm wire braided hose onto the Vaporiser, secure with a jubilee clip.
(Position
C, figure 7, FEMA Vaporiser Manual). Note section (6.3)
(12.4) Cut to length, if necessary, and connect to the larger connection on the Y-
Piece,
securing with a jubilee clip.
(13) FIT EMULATOR & WIRE INTO VEHICLE INJECTORS (Injection Vehicles
Only)
(13.1) Select & mount the Emulator in a suitable place within the engine bay, away
from any
sources of excessive heat.
(13.2) Connect the wiring loom to the plug on the emulator
(13.3) Check the FEMA Emulator Wiring Diagram to see how the wires are connected
to the
injectors.
(13.4) From each injector, there are two wires. Select & cut the same colour wire from
each
injector.
(13.5) Solder each pair of Emulator wires into the cut injector wires as shown in Figure
13a and
13b.
(13.6) Connect the separate blue and black wires as
shown.
(13.7) With extra emulators, simply repeat above procedure. For example, if the
vehicle has
six cylinders, only two pairs of wires on the second Emulator are used, the remaining
wires are taped up, out the way. The blue & black wires are wired as before.
o The Blue wire links to the +ve on the Gas Solenoid AND to the +ve on the
Vaporiser.
(14.6) The Yellow wire is only used for Carburettor vehicles, and is connected to the
+ve on the
petrol solenoid. It can be either cut or taped up, on injection vehicles.
(14.7) The Green & White wires are connected to the Green & White Multivalve
wires,
soldering is recommended.
(14.8) The Black wire from the Multivalve goes to earth.
(14.9) Both the -ve connectors on the Gas Solenoid & Vaporiser Solenoid go to earth.
o The Brown wire is wrapped, bobbin style, several times around the coil
lead, secured
o with insulation tape. If there is not a coil wire, wrap the Brown wire around
the first sparkplug
o HT lead, and loop to the last sparkplug HT lead. For example, with six
cylinders,
o wrap the wire around the first and sixth leads.
